by that agency. An agency can track referrals, assessments, technical
support and check in/out equipment. AT Tracker was designed to track
individuals using assistive technology or any service that needs

and pupil appraisal. AT Tracker is now used by hundreds of agencies
throughout the United States.

those agencies that need to track large amounts of equipment that
is checked out/in to individuals. Equipment Tracker also enables
the user to track equipment usage, equipment disposal and equipment
repair.
Equipment Tracker is being used by many agencies throughout the
United States.
